Question

Distribute to create an equivalent expression with the fewest symbols possible.
(1−2g+4h)⋅5=

Answer 1

5−10g+20h

Explanation:

To distribute the 5 to the terms inside the parentheses, we can use the distributive property:

(1−2g+4h)⋅5 = 5⋅1−5⋅2g+5⋅4h

= 5−10g+20h

This is the simplest equivalent expression we can get, as there are no more terms that can be combined.
